Hilariously Brilliant (0/0 people found this helpful)
This is an amazingly funny book - it will have tears rolling down your face. My brother received it as a Christmas present, and we didn't stop laughing for about twenty minutes of reading! Then we had to put it down and have some Christmas dinner...
It is a great present, or something great to have in the house for people to pick up, read, and laugh at.

I have to show this book to all that call in. It's one of those books that you can have hanging around and just pick it up and open. I must say it's even better afer a pint or two.

This is 'simply' a book of peoples names.
I laughed so much I came close to wetting myself. This is one of the funniest books I have ever read.
Anyone who does not think so should be shot. I mean it.
I cried laughing! (3/7 people found this helpful)
I bought this book as Christmas present but kept putting off wrapping it for weeks cos I died laughing every time I opened it!
This book is hundreds upon hundreds of names (all verified from birth and death certificates) that mostly make your jaw drop in disbelief and horror that someones parents actually stared into their babys eyes upon birth and cooed "hello sweetheart, welcome to the world, Fanny Warmer". I must have a real toilet sense of humour as I found the rude ones so hillarious I found myself guffawing away like a mad woman!
I can't recommend this book highly enough if you just need a quick pick-me-up. Whatever you were down about, after 2 minutes with this your sides will be splitting.
I want a copy! (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book is hilarious! My cousin got it for christmas and bought it out when we came up for new year, it had my dad in tears! A great book to dip into in your spare time for both young and old, or if your feeling particularly childish, for making prank calls Bart Simpson style ;-)
